Though it must be said, rubygems is miles ahead of anything available for python.

  Can you explain more? Is there better native packaging (deb/rpm) etc support?

    Rubygems is a separate system from deb/rpm, but works roughly the same way. Typically it doesn't do binary packaging the way they do it, though, and if native (non-ruby) code is required it is compiled during the install.

  I'm not convinced that's true, as the depth and quality of rubygems are inferior to the depth and quality of eggs available in python. Find me e.g. a "gem install scipy" equivalent for Ruby. However - "easy_uninstall scipy" REALLY needs to work!

    My point precisely. I was referring to the package management system being better, not necessarily the packages available.

    I believe the parent was referring to the rubygems system, not the quality of the gems themselves.
